I acknowledged that in my post but you appear to have missed that.

If you are cinsbuying, the writing isn’t just on a YouTube wall. The rubber has met the road.

Not sure I'd call half a mil for an 1800 sqft house a "crash". I paid $325 for a 2100 sqft house on the northside, just 3 years ago. We'd passed on a new, custom, $400K, 2300sqft Veranda in Monarch Grove the year before.

The market has cooled a bit after the Covid boom. Big deal. Half the baby boom generation still hasn't retired yet. I think we'll be fine.

The term "drive by" is not always literal. Sometimes, it is slang. As in, "I'll drive by later, hope to see you there!"

I guess I’m not real good at reading between the lines either.

Yea, in ANOTHER post she mentioned that SHE had talked to a realtor. However, that was not the advice she gave to others in THIS post.

Well, thanks for the support or criticism? You two would get into a pi$&*in contest over if it was raining or not.
Margaret gave her shot……and it’s over.

No, not her first post, more like her 539th post.

OK, can we please stop with personal attacks on this thread?

There do seem to be a lot of home on the market all over the Villages.

Thanks for getting back on the subject. Don't be surprised if some posters will want YOU to tell them the meaning of A LOT. They would rather sit behind a computer and doubt what several posters are stating instead of GETTING INTO THEIR CARS and checking the facts themselves.

To clarify: My words GETTING INTO THEIR CARS means: go to the sales office, talk to a realtor, look at the inventory, and ask for a list of discounted homes. Like SEVERAL OF US have done. You will realize new homes have been sitting on the market for months.

How many threads have we seen that tell us the Bond doesn't matter at resale ? I cannot understand the logic , five figures added to a six figure purchase would to me be a consideration, a deal breaker ? maybe maybe not.

Please keep person attacks from this post, and return to the value of the thread.

Otherwise thread will be closed.

If it’s the house, and the village one wants to live in, sometimes a bond isn’t the deciding factor. We are on house#4, have never paid the bond off. So love the house first, then the area/ view, and bond doesn’t really come into play, about what will make us happy

It also comes down to if you want to risk not recovering the bond value when you sell the home.

...in this thread I am amazed that only a couple people know that the developer ALWAYS drops the price on the remaining 5-10 homes in a new village that are the "leftovers". I have seen probably a dozen new villages built and they ALWAYS drop the price on those last few homes.

Maybe most of the posters are "newbies".

There are still a few homes in Newell, many in Lake Denham, Dabney is sitting empty, the Enclave has 60% of lots available, and Moultrie Creek lots are sitting. This IS NOT leftovers in a new village. FIVE areas/villages of new construction are sitting stagnant.

Maybe they was over priced to begin with?

Over building?
